Knotty Floor Cushions Encourage You to Curl Up and Get Cozy
Amelia Roblin — May 28, 2012 — Art & Design
The formality of sitting spine-straight in a regular chair does not foster feelings of comfort like these Knotty Floor Cushions do. The Mini and the full-sized models invite you to sink down and sprawl out or curl up and enjoy the way these spongy seats embrace your body.
This pair of endearing Kumenko ottomans has been manufactured with a core much like a beanbag chair. Polystyrene balls inside move about, displaced by the weight of the sitter and adjusted to the contours of adjacent walls and flooring.
But the more unique feature of the Knotty Floor Cushions is the woven cover. This has been carefully entwined around the loosely spherical shape of the footstools by jersey fabric pipes containing pliable pieces of foam.
